As far as concerts I would never pay over $100 for a ticket no matter who it is performing.  Seeing a singer/band live is just not worth that much to me.

To me, it's more that the experience of going to the games has become degraded by the ear-splitting music that prevents any conversation with anyone else.  They price the tickets at a point that puts me on the fence about going to the games, but they seal the deal with that deafening noise that comes from the loudspeakers.  Do people really enjoy going to a game and getting their eardrums blasted like that?  I'd go to all the games if they'd shut off the music.

"I THINK... THEY MADE... THE FIRST DOWN."
"WHAT?"
